Ranggabo does not look like a city.
The tallest house in this small town with a population of only tens of thousands is only four floors, which was the barracks of the Spanish colonial army. Most of the houses in the city are only two floors. The further you go outside the city, the more dilapidated bungalows there are.
The main reason why Lin Youde chose such a poor place as his base was because the bay near Langgabo was where the later US military base was located - Subic Bay.
Lin Youde is a half-hearted military fan. He has been hanging out in a forum known as "the most pornographic in the military world" for a long time, but a half-hearted person is still a half-hearted person. His understanding of military geography only stops at games such as Hearts of Steel.
Therefore, Lin Youde didn't think about "what can we do to the north and what can we do to the south if we occupy Helangyabo"? He just felt that the location chosen by the US military would definitely not be wrong, so he chose his base area there.
Helang Yabo.
Little did he know that this choice would greatly increase the favorability of a French-Spanish mixed-race knight girl in Vietnam.
Therefore, no one can stop the protagonist's halo from becoming powerful.
Soon after Lin Youde's Lam Kee Trading Company landed in Helanggabo, it unified the entire Chinese business community in Helanggabo and quickly completed the penetration of dozens of plantations around Helanggabo.
According to Lin Youde's secret order, He Yuzhao, the big shopkeeper of Yabo, built a private dock and warehouse area in Subic Bay, and secretly built Maxin's firepower points around the warehouse area.
The Spanish colonists in Horangabo have long been bribed by Lin Kee Trading Company. Although these colonists spend all day living, drinking and plundering locals, they still see the situation very clearly. The Philippines is now a hot potato, even if it is suppressed
The Americans will not be idle either. Therefore, the colonial authorities from top to bottom want to make enough money as soon as possible during their term of office, and then transfer them back to the country to enjoy peace and happiness.
On February 12, a British-flagged merchant ship sailed into Lam Kee Pier in Subic Bay.
He Yuzhao stood on the long rail of the pier, patiently waiting for the ship to dock. Behind him, a group of strong men in coarse shirts stood in a row. Although the formation was still a little messy, it already had the shape of an army.
He Yuzhao is in his early twenties and has a delicate scholarly face. When he was 7 years old, he went to Taiwan with his family and witnessed the anti-French war led by Liu Mingchuan. When Japan invaded Taiwan, as an adult, he resolutely picked up a gun and followed
Qiu Fengjia resisted the Japanese invasion and survived a bloody battle with the Japanese army for seventeen days and nights. After following Qiu Fengjia to Guangzhou, he accidentally heard from his mentor that Lin Youde protected the revolutionary youth, so he joined Lin Ji and worked under Du Qifeng.
Du Qifeng soon discovered that this young man was different from ordinary people, so he focused on promoting him. When Lin Youde needed a strong person to oversee the overall situation in Helang Yabo, Du Qifeng recommended this young man to Lin Youde.
And He Yuzhao did not live up to Johnnie To's expectations of him.
At this time, the young shopkeeper looked at the merchant ship docking, and couldn't help but recall the secret message telegram he received yesterday, and it became increasingly difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
It's about to begin.
At this time, the merchant ship finally docked on the dock, and a young man in a long gown jumped out of the ship immediately. On the young man's right wrist was a small piece of white goose feather tied with a thin red rope - it was the "White Feather Fan"
"symbols of.
He Yuzhao couldn't help but frown. For more than half a year, he had criticized the white feather fan system proposed by Lin Youde. He admitted that many white feather fans had indeed completed their tasks and brought patriotic enthusiasm to the Chinese workers. But there were also many white feather fans.
Lu Fan relied on his status as an intellectual and looked down upon Chinese workers who didn't know a few words. He acted like an intellectual and was greedy for personal gain, which had a very bad influence. He Yuzhao dealt with several dandies in his jurisdiction.
The white feather fan that is coming off the ship is probably the white feather fan that Guangzhou arranged for the headquarters of Linji Trading Company in Helang Yabo. If it is a bad product, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
The young man who had just got off the boat glanced at He Yuzhao, who had a complex expression, and then smiled, bowed his hands and said: "This must be Brother He? I have admired you for a long time. I am Chen Hongda, a graduate of the first White Feather Fan crash course. I am here here."
Helang Yabo lends a helping hand to Brother He."
He Yuzhao curled his lips and bowed and replied: "I'm glad to meet you. Mr. Chen has come from a long way and the journey is tiring. Please be sure to rest for a few more days. I don't need to worry about other things for the time being."
Chen Hongda was not annoyed, he just raised his eyebrows, still smiling.

That night, the backbone of the Hongmen Brotherhood in Heranggabo gathered at the Guandi Temple located inside Lam Kee Port in Subic Bay. Most people felt something about this gathering more or less.
The huge temple was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
"Have you heard? A whole shipload of munitions arrived today." Someone lowered their voice and chatted with their friends. "Now they have summoned us again. It seems like something big is going to happen."
"What are you talking about? Didn't you and I already know that something big was going to happen? This time, those foreign gentlemen will have to endure a lot."
"I know, but tell me, Old Six, why are we causing trouble?"
"What are you trying to do? Stealing foreigners and having sex with foreign girls, that's all. Look at how fat those foreign girls have those little pigs on their chests. If something happens, you can touch them to your heart's content."
The words of the man known as Lao Liu immediately caused a small burst of laughter in the surroundings, but outside their small circle, there were also brotherhood members who cast disdainful glances at them.
Which region's white feather fans are more competent can be seen through their performance at this party.
At this moment, Chen Hongda, dressed in white, came into everyone's sight. He walked calmly to the statue of Guan Erye, lit incense, and worshiped according to Hongmen rules before turning to the Chinese workers who were watching him.
"Everyone, I crossed the ocean from Guangzhou and came here for two purposes.
"First of all, I am here to persuade you to die. Our enemies are very powerful, but our strength is too weak. Without the awareness of death and without making huge sacrifices, our struggle will never succeed!
"And my second purpose is to make you a sensible person on the road to hell!"
In this way, Lin Youde, one of the first batch of white feather fans who personally taught classes in Guangzhou—actually political commissars—began his first political mobilization and the first political mobilization of the Nanyang Army. He was impassioned and passionate.
He raised his arms and spoke loudly, and spent a full twenty minutes giving a wonderful speech to the Chinese labor brothers who gathered in Guandi Temple on this matter.
When he finished, the entire Guandi Temple was silent. Even the old man who wanted to touch the foreign girl's little pig had a solemn expression and fell into deep thought.
Lin Youde has always believed that the key to political mobilization is not to talk about empty principles, but to make the mobilized people realize how the battle they are about to engage in will affect the lives of themselves, their families and their descendants. At the same time, political mobilization
It must be combined with visible benefits. For example, for soldiers with peasant backgrounds, we must let them see the improvement of their lives caused by land reform, and for Chinese workers who are oppressed everywhere, we must let them see higher wages and more benefits.
A dignified life.
Lin Youde implemented the generous employee welfare policy in order to cooperate with political mobilization in the future to improve the morale and fighting desire of the troops.
Now, the solemn silence in Guandi Temple is undoubtedly the best affirmation of Lin Youde's views.
"Chen Xiucai," suddenly, someone broke the silence. The old Chinese worker known as Lao Liu stood up. He had a northern face that was rare among Chinese workers. The hands holding the dry tobacco pole were covered with wrinkles, like dry
Like an old tree, "You said that we will eventually build a new China. What kind of country is this China? How is it better than the current Qing Dynasty?"
"I don't know either," Chen Hongda puffed out his chest and replied calmly, "so I can't tell you. But I can be sure that China will never let foreigners dominate us.
Foreigners call us the sick men of East Asia."
Lao Liu seemed dissatisfied with this answer. He asked again: "In that new China, will we ensure that our children and grandchildren will receive the same wages as we do now?"
"meeting."
"Chen Xiucai, will your words count in the future?"
"count!"
"Hi!" Before Chen Hongda could finish his words, the old worker yelled, broke his precious tobacco stick in half, and then bowed to Chen Hongda, "If I die, my little cigarette stick that just arrived in Nanyang will be gone."
Nephew, please leave it to Chen Xiucai and Brother He. No one can compete with me for the first handful of blood to water the muddy ground of New China."
At this moment, the entire Guandi Temple was like a pot exploding, and the emotions that had been squeezed out little by little during Chen Hongda's mobilization erupted like a volcano.
While the crowd was excited, He Yuzhao, who had been watching the show, walked up to Chen Hongda, patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's great, Brother Chen."
"That's right, I am Brother Lin's number one disciple."
He Yuzhao smiled. His direct boss was Du Qifeng, and his impression of Lin Youde was still at the stage of "a libertine who relies on his talents and is unrestrained." So he did not comment, but turned to the next topic: "When will the action be taken?"
"The day after tomorrow, when foreigners celebrate St. Valentine's Day."
